Government Not Prepared To Seize Seven Chinese Ships anadians' Rations Went To Help Feed tarving By BILL BOSS Canadian Press Staff Writer With the Canadians in Korea (CP)-- The colonel felt peckish. From his perch on the rim of the armored car's turret he called to the busy crew inside: "Have you anything to eat down there?" The 2nd battalion, Royal 22nd Regiment, was operating in North Korea. Companies were patrolling west of thhe Imjin river. It was a baked Korean June mid-day. Ony the movement of the armored car, rumbling from one company position to the next, gave the illusion of a breeze. Pte. J. Ernest (Jig Easy) Trem- blay of Arvida, Que. personal signaller to Lt.-Col. J. A. Dextraze of the Van Doos, felt in his pockets as he clung to the back of the vehicle. "Here, I've got a chocolate bar, sir," said Jig Easy as the vehicle passed through a cluster of mud huts thatched with rice straw. Jig Easy, a cheerful 20-year-old whose brush cut is almost jmpos- sible to see, gets his nom the army phonetic alphabet's ren- dition of the letters "J" and 'ui. But suddenly, even before accep- iy the proffered bar, the colonel ordered a halt. Something promp- ted the command. Ask him why now, and he doesn't know. The armored car pulled up be- fore a simple dwelling damaged no more, no less, than the others. Two wan little girls stood under a projection of the thatched roof. Two frail old men squatted nearby, similar studies in off-whites and greys. The village whiff, a minute's in- convenience to the travelling pass- erby, became oppressive to the walting crews. The colonel went inside, his ad- fuiant, Capt. Bob Berube of Wel- , Ont., following. The picture stands starkly out in essential detail still. On rice mats on the floor, in stages of sickness and malnutrition varying from impassive lassitude to death, were the members of three families. Already starvation had claimed one life -- a grandfather who had died three days before. Others had wounds, untended, from the artillery and mortar bar- rages and the air strikes that had preceded the infantry's advance. A little three-year-old, burned by napalm in the air strike, was suf- fering in a corner without a whim- per. He had lost his eyes. His little hands, with which he'd tried to flail the flames, were meat. A young mother vainly suckled an infant whose anguished appe- tite had reduced her right breast to bleeding, formless tissue. thought the colonel. Hs first reaction was 'that choco- "Jig Easy," he shouted, you still got 'that bar?" Young Tremblay had, and took it to the door. There he watched the old grand- mother break it in 10 pieces and give the neediest in the house each a piece. It all had taken only a few se- conds. Outside the soldiers were still scrambling inside the armored car for rations for their lunch when Jig Easy told what he'd seen. Still manning their sets, which they couldn't leave, the signallers reached about in the armored car for rations. There weren't many, Said Collins: "We were down to our last cans of beans -- but they got them." The blinded, burned three-year- old was taken to Capt. Yves Du- fresne of St. Michel, Que., the me- dical officer. RSM. G. Dagenais of Montreal sent four men to the vil- lage to bury its dead, medical as- sistants to tend its wounded and rations for its living. Berube had counted nearly 100 men, women and children in the village so 600 rations, six meals for every one, were ordered. LARGEST IN B. C. "have Vancouver (CP) -- The Vancou- ver Sun said Friday that the $75- million forestry project in the Ar- row Lakes district may dnclude a newsprint and draft mill, a saw- mill, plywood plant and other op- tions. The Sun says that the "in- dustrial giant will be one of the largest single forestry operations in British Columbia." WAGES UP Ottawa (CP) -- Wages of work- ers in major industries were boost- ed again in May to the highest level in history, the Bureau of Sta- tistics reported Friday. Those em- ployed in the larger industrial firms got an average weekly wage of $49.17 on May 1, up from $48.43 on April 1, and almost $5 -a -week higher than the $44.88 on May. 1, last year, - Koreans List Persons Sought By Relatives The Times-Gazette is in receipt of a list of missing persons sought in Canada by their relatives or friends.

You can usually capture the feel- ing of a community by walking down Main Street, .Here are re- flected the attitudes, opinions, and ways of life of the citizens, Trade-- the life-blood of the community-- circulates along this main artery into and out of the grocery stores, the butcher shops, the restaurants, the hardware stores. The men be- hind these counters are men with a vital interest in progress and de- velopment -- in any development {that brings more people or more purchasing power to the commu- nity. Each one, in his' own field, does his best to attract to his store or factory customers for his pro- duct. d : Working alone, however, his activ- ities can do little to add to the over-all prosperity of the commu- nity. All he can hope to do is to compete for business already avail- able. Each proprietor is a busy man --he has hundreds of details to con- sider--but one of his primary con- cerns is to improve his business. But thousands of business men in hundreds of Canadian communities have found that they can do a great deal, too, to develop and im- prove their communities -- by or- a co-operative basis. The Chamber of Commerce gives them the or- ganization that they need. Eighty-eight per cent of commu- | nities in Canada with a popula- tion of 1,000 or more (and a great many smaller communities as well) today have a Chamber of Com- merce, which is, in turn, a member of the national federation called "The Canadian Chamber of Com- merce". When it is considered that these community organizations exist in all ten provinces, and have as mem- bers some 10,000 business leaders, representing large and small busi- nesses of every conceivable kind, it becomes evident that this move- ment merits thoughtful attention, A Chamber of Commerce is a minster, B.C.

It is, in effect, the conscience and the will of the com- | munity--the conscience to appreci- ate wants and needs; the will to | take effective action. | Within these organizations are {men working together, not for | personal gain, but to promote the | welfare of the community as a | | whole. In short, the men who make | |up a good Chamber are citizens | who are prepared to accept the re- | sponsibilities of good citizenship. | In every community there is much to be done--but not so much that determined business leaders, work- ing together, cannot do it. The | Chamber of Commerce movement provides the machinery both for development and the expression of sound public opinion. It can and it does overcome apathy and indif- ference, and it points the way to the solution of problems by co-op- erative effort and self-reliance. The work of the Chamber of Commerce enters into almost every phase of community and public life. Is there apathy among citizens at election time? The Chamber can bring to the citizens an apprecia- | tion of the importance of the demo- cratic vote. Is some proposed civic legislation not in the best interests of the community? The Chamber provides the machinery for rous- ing public opinion with regard to the issues involved, and for develop- | ing a better law. Is the community awaké to its opportunities--anxious to obtain its share of capital ine vestment and new industry? What is being done to promote good rela- tions between the town and the farms in the area--to attract tour- ists--to decrease fire losses in the community? Is there a need for a| beautification campaign? To all! these questions--and to hundreds of others -- an active and efficient Chamber can provide the answers, for it is the public relations or- ganization and the research labora- | tory of its community. | In the national sphere, too, the | Chamber of Commerce plays its part, for there are matters that can be solved only through organiza- tions representing the point of view of the individual community. We | need increased immigration. We need more freedom in multilateral | trade. We need greater economy in' government. To meet these and other needs, we need a strong and ringing voice that speaks for Cana- da. None of these things can be done effectively unless Canadians appreciate that they are necessary, and then undertake to do their part in the effort that must be made. There is a passage in the Old Testament which reads: "Where there is no vison, the people per- ish." By uniting the leaders of a community, the Chamber of Com- merce can provide the vision that ~~ CN No "Cease-Fire" Order in Iranian Dispute "CASPIANS JAN 4 ©Ankara ~~vetes TURKEY [-] Baghdad IRAQ warships ARABIA 0 500 SE (Teheran) IRAN (PERSIA) U.S. ambassador to Iran, Henry F.

The four main causes of death and the number of deaths recorded were: Heart disease 1284; cancer, 521; vascular lesions, 473, ang accidents, 208. Admit They Took = War Materials To Communists Ottawa (CP)--The government is going to pursue ine vestigation of the controversial Ming Sung ships, though it is mot yet prepared to strip them of their questioned right te fly the Canadian flag. That was the word given the Com- mons yesterday by Prime Minister St. Laurent as Progres- sive Conservatives urged again that the seven Chinese-man- ned ships be seized. He said the government still does ® not feel that this action should be], taken, though investigation still is going on and the matter is 'by no means a closed book." He disclosed that the vessels, built in Canada for a Chinese trad- ing firm and now flying the Can- adian flag, have been carrying to Red China "many materials" which Canada herself does not al- low to be éxported to Commiunist countries. NOT UNREASONABLE But the government did not con- sider that this trade out of Hong | Kong, now halted by the British authorities there, has been "unrea- sonable." The material carried in- cluded used trucks, rubber tires, scrap metal and iron rods. At the same time, he reported that the government had been wor- ried--even before the Progressive Conservatives broached it -- about the possibility of "very embarras- sing complications' if the Chinese Reds fired on the vessels or took other action against them. The ships were built in Canada after the war for the Ming Sung Industrial Corporation and given Canadian registry last year to pre- vent their falling into Communist hands. The owners still owe Can- adian banks about $12 million. NOT WORTH RISK Gordon Graydon (P.C. -- Peel) suggested the amount of money in- volved -- the Canadian government is backing the $12 million bank loan -- is "not worth the risk this government is taking of running into trouble in the far east." Maj.-Gen. G. R. Pearkes, V. C. (P.C. -- Nanaimo) said his inform- ation was that the ships has trans- ported steel plate, railway mater- ials, ships repairs and lumber to Red China. John Diefenbaker (P.C. -- Lake Centre) urged that use of the ships to take Chinese repatriates from Malaya to Red - held Canton be stopped. The discussion arose as the cham- ber plodded tarough the last of department estimates before ad- journment for the summer recess. It meets again Oct. 9. CBC ESTIMATES Another debate developed on CBC estimates, with Progressive Conservative members urging that the question of CBC financial oper- ations be placed before a parlia- mentary committee at the autumn session. They questioned a $1,500,000 in- terim grant to the CBC. The grant is in partial implementation of re- commendations of the Massey com- mission on arts, letters and science. Revenue Minister McCann also asked approval of a loan to the CBC of $1,500,000 to finance initial television operations in Montreal and Toronto. The Toronto telecasts now are expected to start in the late winter of 1952. Work at Mont- real is expected to be completed in another year. M. J. Coldwell, CCF leader, agreed that the CBC should be given an interim grant so it could continue existing radio services. But he felt that TV service should guard against the commercialism of American programs. AGREES ON GRANT Mr. Diefenbaker agreed also on the interim grant, but felt the ques- tion should be studied by a com- mittee in the fall. He objected to the number of American programs broadcast on CBC networks. The chamber, for the:third day in a row, ran into another opening- stage battle between Mr, St. Lau- rent and George Drew, Progres- sive Conservative leader, over Mr, Drew's. charges of ministerial in- discretion against Production Min- ister Howe. The Senate, keeping pace with the Commons in the adjournment race, voted 21 to 15 against a mo- tion to kill a government bill es- tablishing national standards for the dairy industry and regulating interustionsl and intverprovincial trade.
